The Golden State Warriors have seen their lead in the Western Conference standings grow, as they now sit seven games clear of the struggling Grizzlies. They will be on the road at Denver tonight, and there isn't a lot of reason for the visitors to get excited about this game. The Nuggets are coming off a home win over the Hawks, and will look carry some of that momentum into tonight's game.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - Home court advantage isn't what it once was for the Nuggets, who won more homes than any team in the league in 2013. They have won two of three during this current home stand though, and the Warriors have failed to cover in eight of their last 11 road games.

2. Danillo Gallinari - It's been a rough go the last few years for the 26 year old Italian, but he looks like he's finally healthy after spending most of the last two seasons sidelined by injuries. He dropped 23 points on the Hawks, hitting four of his five three-point attempts in the victory.

3. X-Factor - The Nuggets have won 16 of their last 20 home meetings versus Golden State.

Selection: This is a play on the Denver Nuggets (8*)
